India is one of WhatsApp’s largest marketplaces, with billions of users worldwide. However, the platform, owned by Meta, is about to undergo one of the most significant transformations in its existence. Users of the messaging app will soon be able to phone or talk with people who are using other applications. That’s correct, as WhatsApp strives to comply with regulations in some places, third-party interoperability will be accessible for users.

With WhatsApp’s interoperability function, you will be able to speak with users of other messaging applications and, in the future, even make audio or video calls to them. Meta is making these adjustments in order to comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) of the European Union (EU), which has previously targeted Apple, Google, and other internet companies. The main goal of the judgment is to prevent businesses like as Meta from giving priority to their own products, which is why WhatsApp is becoming interoperable.

Even adding video calls to this group is something Meta has discussed, although that will happen in 2027. What is the methodology for the third-party WhatsApp messaging support? When the feature becomes available, users will be able to choose which applications they want to send or receive messages to, according to Meta. Additionally, you will be able to see these conversations in a different inbox or get them in the same WhatsApp stream.

These are going to be huge changes, but unless something changes radically over the next two years, Indian WhatsApp users may not see the functionality accessible anytime soon.
